Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Eagle vs Shark is a 2007 dramatic-romantic-comedy starring Jemaine Clement and Loren Horsley. It is the first feature-length film directed by Taika Waititi, and received accolades at the Sundance Film Festival.Lily (Horsley) is a painfully awkward young woman working in a fast-food restaurant with a crush on a regular customer, Jarrod.Jarrod (Clement) is an equally awkward, videogame-obsessed nerd with virtually no redeeming qualities.Things heat up when Lily shows up uninvited to a "dress as your favorite animal" party hosted by Jarrod and wows him with her savant-like videogame skills. Later, Jarrod confesses that he has to return to his hometown in order to get revenge on his high school nemesis, Eric Elisi (who is Samoan). Lily, smitten, tags along and meets Jarrod's dysfunctional extended family and other assorted inhabitants of the town. Everything falls apart from there.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bookends: Lily sulking in her sleeping bag when she finds out Jarrod only dumped her so he could chase a better-looking woman, to which Jarrod responds by nestling up to her with his own sleeping bag. Their roles would be reversed towards the end. Lily's name being written on slips of paper. Early on in the film she'd discovered the manager's decision to pick a random name out of a hat and lay that person off was rigged entirely against Lily, as every name in the hat was hers. When Lily impresses everyone with her hula-hooping, she envisions the chanting as confetti with her name written on every piece.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Atrocious Alias: Lily's videogame moniker is "Dangerous Person". Just watch her labouriously entering the whole thing onto the game's screen.

The Ace: Lily, though Jarrod keeps lying about her talents. She's good at videogames and only lost to Jarrod because she let him win, can hula hoop longer than most people and is a good enough throw to kill a seagull by accident.
